I'm using the same driver, but I'm using MythTV from ATrpms, as well as the ivtv driver from ATrpms (0.3.3k). I have the same model of PVR-500 as you do, and a PVR-250 both working with this driver, but a different kernel.
The kernel is 2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at 686 REGPARM gcc-3.4. I think that tuner type 57 is fairly new, and you might need to patch the kernel for support. I know that with the ATrpms setup, there's a new module called "tuner-ivtv" that I had to use in my modprobe.conf, instead of "tuner". Additionally, I don't specify the tuner types in modprobe.conf (as they should auto-detect now), nor do I specify the i2c_enable lines. I also see the i2c message you mention about "tuner unset". Here's the relevant portion of my modprobe.conf: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv alias char-major-81-2 ivtv options cx25840 no_black_magic=1 alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv alias tuner tuner-ivtv I don't know if this helps, but I can say that it does work for me. (Tuner 0 is the PVR-250, 1 and 2 are the 500.) -- Joe --- Mike Benoit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I've been searching the mailing list high and low, > and although it > seems several other people have the same problem as > I do, I didn't > manage to find a definitive fix. > > I followed the QuickSetup guide, and after the > modules were loaded I > ran: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] utils]# ./ptune.pl -f ntsc-cable > --input /dev/video0 -c 4 > Ch.4: 67250 1076 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] utils]# mplayer /dev/video0 > > All I see is a pulsing static (static... black... > static... black) on > the screen, no recognizable image at all.
